note 36357 added to function.imagettftext

I noticed that the specified y coordinate in this function at least for some fonts (but maybe all) means the font's baseline, and not the true font's bottom line. This means that when creating an image that is exactly the size of the text you want to render (calculated using the imagettfbbox function), letters like j, p, g, etc. fall off the image area and there's some space at the top. I found this solution. $box = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $fontfile, $txt . "Mg_|"); $height = ($box[1] - $box[7]); $box = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $fontfile, $txt); $width = ($box[2] - $box[0]); $box1 = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $fontfile, "o"); $box2 = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $fontfile, "g"); $baseline = ($box2[1] - $box2[7]) - ($box1[1] - $box1[7]); $im = imagecreate($width, $height); imagettftext ($img, $size, 0, 0, $height - $baseline, $rgbfore, $fontfile, $txt); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36357 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36357&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36357&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
